PETALING JAYA: Perikatan Nasional chairman Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin has hit out at his critics who have accused the former prime minister of allegedly swindling RM600bil in government funds that was spent during his tenure.
He added that such a large sum of funds would definitely not have gone unnoticed by the National Audit Department , which audits government spending annually and whose report is then presented by the Public Accounts Committee in Parliament.
Muhyiddin said that he had never embezzled or misused funds meant to help the people, and that even if he had, investigations would have been started a long time ago. “This included initiatives like the i-Lestari, i-Sinar and i-Citra EPF withdrawal schemes worth RM145bil, the EPF payment reduction worth RM10bil, a moratorium on bank loan payments for both individuals and companies worth RM180bil, and government guarantees for company loans worth RM80bil, among many others.
“Don’t keep on pointing fingers at others with nonsense accusations just to cover up the weakness of the current government.
